Don’t be shy: how many of you are reading this blog post from an
airport, elevator or even a public restroom? Well, if you’re nodding yes (or at
least pausing to think about the question as you snake through TSA security),
you’re not alone.

According to new data released by harmon.ie today, 77
percent of mobile workers finish documents, proposals or presentations while on
the road, with more than half literally finalizing materials in the 11th
hour. Additionally, while workers resort totransforming
restaurants, bedrooms and beaches into “unconventional” workplaces, even the
most creative makeshift cubes aren’t helping get jobs done, as 84
percent of traveling executives and managers report that they cannot work
effectively on collaborative projects while on-the-go, despite increased enterprise
adoption of iPads and smartphones.

Our market study, fielded by uSamp (United Sample) to more than 500 U.S. mobile
business users, was specifically designed to help corporations identify pain
points in and work toward solutions for on-the-go computing. In addition to
showing that one in seven truly conducts
business in public restrooms, harmon.ie’s survey found that technology
gaps, specifically in enterprise collaboration tools, cause productivity losses
and mistakes that are detrimental to business. Download the study to learn more about corporate workers' mobile collaboration needs, extreme work habits and the consequences of low productivity and wasted time while on-the-go.
